    Modern Atomic Theory
    Introduced the concept in explaning atoms. Bohr's model ultimately needed revision. Even if it was good it failed to explan really what the atom is. Thats when they made the Modern Atomic Theory. Made life diffenrt.
  • Rutherford

    Rutherford
    Rutherford started in New Zealand. He researched in that state for a long time. Magnetic properties of iron brings high-frequency. Arrival at Cambridge they saw his talant got him in to school. this was soon made to be called Rutherford atomic model.
  • Thomson

    Thomson
    Thomson took Crookes tube and expermineted with it. he was trying to direct a beam of lifght going one way. His results were astounding. He took a magnet to bend the rays. They were bent towards the postive side of the magnet. These helped him find the negative charged called as we known as electrons. this was called the plum pudding meathed
  • Bohr

    Bohr
    Model is probably familar as the "planetary model" of the atom. Neutrons and protons makeing the Bohr Model is a form of energy. Shows the atom as a small, positively charged nucleus surrounded by electrons. Telling us about the atoms.
